Given the location of the project within a multistory development, careful coordination during the design and construction phases was of utmost importance. Customer access and emergency egress had to work within the constraints of the shell; while mechanical, electrical and life-safety systems had to integrate with complex building infrastructure.

The design incorporated large frameless storefront systems at the concourses to draw interest towards the space. Aluminum-clad portals were then deployed as a way to provide a threshold for the customer experience, while paying respect to the materiality of the branded façade at more conventional locations.
